Partly inspired by the song “where do I begin” from the film Love Story.

Where do I begin To ask the question And do I divulge my sin Reveal obsession Please I need your wise advice I’m walking on thin ice What if I pay the price Will I regret this choice Do I roll the dice Trust my inner voice Play this lottery blank uncertainty Of possibility Drowning in the sea My heart is beating faster Do I just take the leap Like ripping off a plaster Unveiled my destiny Will that evoke disaster Will I be sorry after Should I leave it to the master It’s time to cease this game Roulettes the devils work On me I lay the blame I’m overwhelmed with fear Overcome with shame I feel my pulsing veins Ready set take aim I take it in my hand You see me trembling What if I find it’s bland This is my reckoning And as I begin to bite My heart fills with delight Someone’s listened to my plight It was a coffee one And not a toffee one Delicious bliss Chocolatey kiss Slowly oozing So wickedly soothing What a close call I thank you all

WoW! Elaine, I've never seen the need for chocolate told quite like this before. I must say I like chocolate too. I don't eat as much as I used too though. I really enjoyed the read. Have a wonderful day:-) Alexis

Intriguing and funny how we have labeled chocolate as a 'sin!' You had me going there, for sure, Elaine. Cheers, Gershon

ha, I was taking it so serious until the end. I would have wanted the toffee! IN fact, tonight I had one like that. SO scrumptious. Fun poem, Elaine.

Enjoyed your roller coaster poem, Elaine. It evokes subtly the very important reminder that we never know what is around the corner and life is precious. And... you can't go wrong with French Vanilla. LOL
